About
The Musée de la Sculpture en Plein Air (French pronunciation: [myze də la skyltyʁ ɑ̃ plɛn‿ɛʁ]) is a collection of outdoor sculpture located on the banks of the Seine in the 5th arrondissement, Paris, France. The museum opens free of charge.

It stretches some 600 meters along the Quai Saint-Bernard beside the Jardin des Plantes, between Place Valhubert and Gare d'Austerlitz to just east of Pont de Sully. The museum currently contains over fifty sculptures, including pieces by Alexander Archipenko, Jean Arp, César Baldaccini, and Constantin Brâncuși, as well as the following pieces:
Augustin Cardenas (1927-), La Grande Fenêtre, 1974
Marta Colvin (1915-), Le Grand Signe, 1970
